If you are not the leader in your household, the plain-English explanations of developmental psychology, the brain research, and the case examples in Parents in Charge will fascinate you and empower you to step unapologetically into the position of an authoritative parent. You will understand that the structured and consistent environment that good boundaries create gives your children real freedom. The book discusses how parenting casts light on your childhood memories and experiences, and it explains the differences between the cultures of early childhood and adulthood. Vivid examples of the differences in how children and adults experience time, language, and consequences will lead you to chuckle in recognition and relief. The book also sweats the small stuff: writing thank you notes, calling adults by their first names, and the need to rethink birthday parties with bulging party bags.

Using a well-known, widely studied disorder as a test case, ADHD as a Model of Brain-Behavior Relationships offers an innovative framework for integrating neuroscience and behavioral research to refine the diagnostic process and advance the understanding of disorders. Identifying a profound disconnect between current neuropsychological testing and the way the brain actually works, this revision of the paradigm critiques the DSM and ICD in terms of the connectedness of brain structures regarding cognition and behavior. My co-authors and I argue for a large-scale brain network approach to pathology instead of the localizing that is so common historically, and for an alternate set of diagnostic criteria proposed by the NIMH. Included in the coverage:
- The diagnosis of ADHD: history and context
- ADHD and neuropsychological nomenclature
- Research Domain Criteria: a dimensional approach to evaluating a disorder
- The development of motor skills, executive function, and a relation to ADHD
- The role of the cerebellum in cognition, emotion, motivation, and dysfunction
- How large-scale brain networks interact

Dr. David Swanson, a trusted child and family therapist, has written a book filled with information about the different ways kids misbehave and strategies about how to contend with each, plus he helps parents understand why kids employ these different strategies. The latter – the WHY kids do what they do – is a critical component for a good parenting book.
